Forced to Lie

Right wingers want to use the law to force others to pretend to respect their beliefs and
superstitions. They want the law to punish victimless crimes like homosexuality, licentiousness, blasphemy, heresy,
indecency and desecration of sacred symbols (including failing to revere flag worship, a form of idolatry). It is a
most odious form of egotism, sort of like ancient kings demanding subjects prostrate themselves in their presence
on pain of death.
